Functional vision assessment what to consider
Functional vision assessment what to considerNusrat Zerin A functional vision assessment evaluates how much a child can see and use their vision in daily activities and learning. It observes a child in their typical routines at school or home to understand their abilities and needs related to vision. The assessment covers four main areas: communication, near vision tasks, daily living skills, and orientation and mobility. It helps ensure a child makes the most of their sight by informing teaching approaches and materials. The goal is to supplement clinical eye exams and identify optimal learning conditions.
Examination protocol for binocular vision
Examination protocol for binocular visionPuneet Binocular vision assessment involves evaluating sensory and motor fusion through tests of phoria, vergence, accommodation, and stereopsis. Key tests include near point of convergence, vergence ranges, and accommodative response. Assessing binocular vision helps diagnose problems like convergence insufficiency, accommodative insufficiency, and other issues that can cause symptoms like eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision. Referral for further orthoptic evaluation is recommended for patients presenting with these types of symptoms.
soft contact lens fitting
soft contact lens fittingMohammad Noor This document outlines the steps involved in fitting soft contact lenses. It discusses factors that affect lens fit like modulus of elasticity and water content. The fitting process involves an eye exam, keratometry, measuring the horizontal visible iris diameter (HVID), and selecting an initial trial lens based on the base curve, power, diameter, and lens type. The fit of the trial lens is then evaluated based on patient comfort, corneal coverage, centration, movement, push-up test results, lens lag, edge alignment, and over-refraction results. The lens parameters may be altered to improve fit, and a final contact lens order is placed specifying details like base curve, power, diameter, water content, and manufacturer.

Vision standards for various occupation
Vision standards for various occupationOPTOM FASLU MUHAMMED This document outlines visual standards for driving and naval service. The key points are:
- For driving, the standard is 6/9 vision in the better eye or 6/12 in the worse eye, with a field of vision of at least 120 degrees. Diplopia and certain visual field defects make one unfit to drive.
- For the Royal Navy, the standards are 6/12 vision or better in each eye, with restrictions on hyperopia, myopia and astigmatism. Tests include Ishihara color plates and checking binocular function.
- Factors like ocular pathology, refractive surgeries and retinal detachment could cause rejection even if vision is within standards. Spectacle

Vision therapy aryaarya das Vision therapy uses various techniques to actively train and improve visual skills. It aims to establish efficient binocular vision through tasks that target issues like amblyopia, strabismus, focusing, and eye coordination. Treatment involves procedures done at home and in the office using instruments like lenses, prisms, occlusion, and computer programs. Success depends on accurate diagnosis, a tailored approach for each patient, and their consistent participation in frequent sessions over time.
Visual performance evaluation
Visual performance evaluationPersis Benetta Visual performance refers to the ability of the visual system to operate quickly, effectively with no discomfort. The document discusses several techniques for assessing visual performance including contrast sensitivity, dark focus of accommodation, visual acuity, and depth tracking. It also discusses how visual performance is important for sports and identifies several relevant visual skills. Visual performance training aims to enhance these skills and can include refractive compensation, filters, nutrition, and sports vision training programs to improve sensory processing, motor movements, and athletic performance. Certain nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin that are found in the eye may provide benefits like improved glare recovery, visual acuity, and processing speeds.

Role of rehabilitation in pediatricsRajatBansal61 The document discusses low vision rehabilitation in pediatrics. It defines low vision and describes common causes in children. Low vision rehabilitation aims to help children with low vision develop skills and achieve independence through assessment, training, counseling and environmental modifications. Key areas of rehabilitation include developmental, educational, genetic and vocational support. Challenges include assessing and training children, as well as counseling parents. The roles of teachers, parents and rehabilitation centers are also outlined.
FDA classification of soft contact lens
FDA classification of soft contact lenssushmitha hebri The FDA classifies soft contact lenses into four groups based on their water content and ionic charge. Group 1 lenses have low water content and are non-ionic, while Group 2 lenses have high water content but are also non-ionic. Group 3 lenses have low water content but are ionic, and Group 4 lenses have high water content and are ionic. This classification system helps differentiate lenses' interactions with care products and their tendencies to accumulate protein deposits from tears.
Anatomic and physiological ocular changes with age final
Anatomic and physiological ocular changes with age finalHira Dahal This document discusses various age-related changes that occur in the eye and visual system. It notes decreased visual field and corneal sensitivity with age. The eyelids show signs of atrophy, wrinkling, and misalignment. The conjunctiva thins and produces fewer tears. The lens thickens and becomes less transparent, increasing nearsightedness. The vitreous shrinks and detaches from the retina more easily. The retina has poorer response to light and contrast sensitivity. Overall, aging reduces visual acuity, especially for moving targets, and increases the need for brighter lighting.
